Anyone "never statisfied" with their pregnancy

Last night DH and I were talking and I told him I could not wait to get to 24 weeks because that is the point where there is a chance of the baby surviving if I were to go into pre-term labor.
DH asked when I was going to chill out and just be happy with where I am right now. He said when I found out I was pregnant I couldn't wait to hear the HB. After that, I couldn't wait to get to the 2nd trimester. Now, I can't wait to get to our V-day.
I don't find anything wrong with myself. Doesn't it only seem logical that I am ready to get to the next (and safer) point in my pregnancy?

Re: Anyone "never statisfied" with their pregnancy
It is totally normal to want to hurry and get to the next milestone; but it is important to stop and enjoy every moment as it goes by so fast!
I think your DH has a point! I understand being excited about the milestones. But, in the end, all you can do is just take it day by day and enjoy it all! Believe it or not, one day you'll struggle to remember some of the things you're going through now. Just stay positive, relaxed and enjoy every week that you get to grow your baby and have them so close to you.

I think I'd be enjoying my pregnancy more if I still weren't so sick. I can't even imagine how it would be to have a m/s free pregnancy...I'm hoping #2 will let me experience one!
These are small miracles and milestones on our road to pregnancy. It's hard to not be anxious as we approach them. I think there needs to be a healthy balance so you can enjoy your pregnancy.
With that said, my best friend, who had a great pregnancy BTW, fret about EVERYTHING! It was annoying. I don't want to be that, and she was a great role model for what NOT to do. Hahaha.
It sounds to me like you have struck the right balance, just so long as you're not keeping yourself up at night or making yourself sick with worry.
I just go with the flow. I'm completely satisfied where I am, where I was, and where I will be. I'm not too much of a worrier though (I just get a little anxious before a sched. u/s.)
I have had an easy run thus far, so maybe that contributes to my indifference.
I'm with you on that! Even if I wanted to stay up at night! Hahahahaha.
I was desperate to get out of 1st Tri and feel better, but since 12 weeks or so I've been loving the pregnancy. ?The milestones are exciting (and I was especially looking forward to our big U/S), but I'm pretty happy right now to take it day by day.
I can't wait to meet the baby, of course, but I'm also trying to enjoy the things I won't get to do (or won't get to do nearly as often) once he's here-- sleeping in, regular dinners out with my husband, going to the movies, etc. ??
Well, I can understand that! Hey- my first pregnancy was so awful that I swore I would never get pregnant again! I hated a lot of it. And STILL I later regretted not finding SOME way to enjoy it more anyway. I promised I would be different this time around- mentally, if not physically.
Anyway, lately I've just been trying to enjoy life in general instead of always being focused on what's next, what's next, etc etc. We're always waiting for SOMETHING- like Dr. Suess book says. LOL
I like anticipating the next big thing but not to the point where I forget to appreciate the here and now.

I think that's totally normal! you're pregnant and excited for the next stages.
I'm sure once you get to v-day, you're just going to say "i can't wait to hold her in your arms" -it's perfectly normal
After I told my mom we were expecting she said, "Congrats, now brace yourself for a lifetime of worry. I thought I was done when you got married but now that you are expecting I'm all sorts of worried about the lil one so it obviously never ends."
She's got to be the reason I suffer from anxiety!
I'm glad to see this. I haven't enjoyed being pregnant. I don't feel well and haven't since pretty much the day I conceived. I keep telling DH this is going to be an only child. It's good to see someone had a not-so-great experience, but then is willing to do it again and seems to enjoy it!
